    I turned on my Furnace

    Good to start it to test before you really need heat. I change or vacuum the 20x16x5" filter and inside the compartments and blower spring and fall. I oil the air intake inducer motor shaft with light oil, and pour a cup of Vinegar and water down the condensate drain. Keep spare batteries on...

    Console stereos: 1958-84

    There are many more good ones that follow that song in succession. My parents had a wide range of taste in music. Mom liked Mario Lanza, Chopin, Maurice Chivaliet', Ray Conniff, Streisand, Andy Williams, Billy Extine, Broadway soundtracks, etc. Dad liked Nat King Cole, Chet Atkins, Xavior...

    Whirlpool Calypso -- does this look right to you?

    I have only seen one ever in use. It seemed to do a good job and the owner said he liked it's performance and soil/stain removal. A constant waterfall onto the load, and swashbuckling. Like doing laundry in a rapid flowing stream on a rock?

    A506 won't spin

    My 1988 Maytag with that transmission did it once. I remember calling my dad after I removed the front panel to ask him why. He told me to move the timer to another spin cycle, and it spun, and never did it again. I left that washer with my ex in 1993.

    American tube radios...

    My dad had several Catalyn cabinet radios. I gave him a collectors book for Christmas back in the 90's when he began. One was a teal color with a gold dial. I don't know if it was a Crosley. He sold them all. My cousins had an RCA hifi phono like the one Matt posted in blonde without legs.

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    Re; married to cellphones. While not untrue, but not a reason for the above really. I also have no desire to access any appliance or other home system via my mobile phone. I can start my car with an app., but I don't. It has a remote start on the fob, which we rarely use because we keep it...

    Bose buys McIntosh (audio equipment)

    Exactly Matt. I meant professional techs as yourself, who often get repair projects that were botched by other shops. A reputable tech will test, scope, replace, test again, until the unit is within factory spec's.

    Bose buys McIntosh (audio equipment)

    Oh, I've seen many amp. and receiver repair videos. Mac, Accuphase, even in house plant service. Pioneer, Sony, Technics, Marantz, Sansui, etc.

    What’s your favourite washing machine cleaner?

    I do a load of whites with bleach before the clean cycle. I add a bit more for the clean cycle. Nothing else.

    Our folks were also depression kids. Penny pinchers.

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    A neighbor never hand washes a dish! Of course now she is 81, so it took decades before she had the luxury.

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    More seniors using fewer dish and table wear, so they hand wash? New machine prices and budget limits?

    What's the deal with microwaves rusting so fast?

    Don't clean the interior with a dish rag thats been used. Food acids erode paint.

    Sears Kenmore Belt-drive Transmission Rebuild

    I think it was red oil. Is there a red gear oil? My dad was a Sears servicer so I can't imagine he threw caution to the wind. Maybe I confused red Ricon grease for the spin tube bearings with the gear oil. there was usually an opened up trans. rebuild mounted on his garage workbench. Seems thats...

    KELVINATOR KITCHEN CABINETS - $1000 (Kenosha)

    Matt, we remodeled for us. We sedlom entertain. We wanted a nice home to enjoy in retirement. Many move to a condo and thinks it's a step up while downsizing because it's new. Low end McMansion standard finishes. No thanks. My aunt had a 1940's grey and red accented tiled bath and had her cast...

    KELVINATOR KITCHEN CABINETS - $1000 (Kenosha)

    Matt, while I wasn't the one who really wanted a new kitchen, I'm glad we did it. The oak edged Formica tops were still nice, except behind the heavy Kohler cast iron sink where it was beginning to separate from the backsplash. While I was installing a new disposal in 1998, I dropped a pipe...
